Speaking to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain, Fury spoke about the fight first. He said, “I watched the fight, I was very impressed with what he did.”
Fury added, “When they did the interview, the public heard that he wanted to fight me and he avoided the question, which was a bit disappointing as it’s been building up over the years.
“He avoided the question like he didn’t want the fight, so I had to get straight on social media and make everyone know I’m willing to take the fight.” This also explains his video on Twitter.
